Amusing antics and wedding night folly in Haymarket tale
The scene depicts schemes to flee to a bride as Melville intrudes, a whispering duet under misread assumptions, and a comic reveal with under-table witness. The elder consents after misunderstandings, while Susan and the household react with satire. A stock pantomime tune and Mrs. Carguil’s song earn praise amid lively performances.
